Tejashwi Yadav On Nitish Kumar Breaking Mahagathbandhan

In another news, recently, on being questioned about Nitish Kumar’s moving to BJP by breaking the JD(U)-Congress Mahagathbandhan, Tejashwi Yadav said that he always considered Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to be a father figure. He further added that he wonders what forced Kumar to ditch the Mahagathbandhan’ and return to the BJP-led NDA. Taking part in the debate on the confidence motion moved by the Kumar-led NDA government in the assembly, Yadav also taunted his ex-boss for having been sworn in “for a record ninth time, and also for the third time within a five-year term, something which has no precedent”.

“I always considered Nitish Kumar as ‘Dashrath’ (character from the epic Ramayan’). I don’t know what reasons forced him to ditch the Mahagathbandhan’,” the former deputy CM said. Yadav, who had been restrained ever since the upheaval a fortnight ago when Kumar made a return to the NDA fold, vented spleen on the floor of the state assembly.
